4 of my DC's names are within the first 5 posts- whereas I, who was actually born in the 80's, never see my name in these lists, ever 😂

Most of the names said so far were for people who were teens in the 80s, so 60s and 70s born.
Babies in the 80s - it seemed like every other girl was a hyphenated name-Louise. I worked in a branch library with school class visits in the late 80s, and in one class with 12 girls, 9 of them were something-Louise!
and lots of Kayleighs after the song.
Kylie towards the end of the decade.
Joshua started to get popular for boys, lots of Bens, and Aaron/Arron.

No the names that I wrote in my OP, are women that I know, that were born in the eighties. They were all born in the eighties

Kelly and Claire.
Darren and Jason.

Edel
